我在Digital Ocean用nginx运行WordPress网站时也遇到了这个问题。

我的解决方案如下:

修改/etc/nginx/nginx.conf文件如下:

server {
root /var/www/html;
}

然后我必须sudo服务nginx重启

nginx -V命令也显示你的nginx配置文件的位置(我的是指向/etc/nginx/nginx.conf)

在Mac OS X上，使用brew安装nginx会使默认目录:

/usr/local/var/www

So:

root html

意味着

root /usr/local/var/www/html

没有html目录，所以必须手动创建。

在Mac上使用brew安装nginx:

/ usr / local / etc / nginx / nginx上。

location / { 
    root   html;  # **means /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.8.0/html and it soft linked to /usr/local/var/www**
    index  index.html;
}  

*默认页面web分配在var/www/html *默认配置服务器etc/nginx/sites/ available /nginx.conf

server {

    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    root /var/www/html;

    index index.html index.php;

    server_name _;

    location /data/ {
        autoindex on;
    }

    location /Maxtor {
        root /media/odroid/;
        autoindex on;

    }

        # This option is important for using PHP.
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
    }
}

*默认配置服务器etc/nginx/nginx.conf

IP客户端的默认访问日志var/log/nginx/…

对于CentOS、Ubuntu和Fedora，默认目录为/usr/share/nginx/html

如果在Ubuntu上使用apt-get安装，请尝试/usr/share/nginx/www.

编辑:

在最近的版本中，路径已更改为: /usr/share/nginx/html

2019编辑:

你也可以试试/var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html。
